AAA Payments for 1946! 
_The 1946 farm program is designed to help Northern farmers protect their soils 
against damage from erosion and loss of fertility. The county committee designates 
those practices which will be approved for payment in the county, so that the 
available funds will be used most effectively to bring about increased conservation. 
Written approval from the county committee must be obtained for each practice 
to be performed on any individual’s farm, prior to the carrying out of such prac- 



MASS cs (except that practices performed before April 1, 1946, may be approved retro- bsp el raps
